Doubt he's lying about the price difference. We don't know the years of the cars (his could've been overstock since he has an 09), options, etc. Typically, automatics are purchased by dealerships in hopes that a random customer will walk in and snag one on the spot. Dealers prefer to stock fewer manuals because they are an enthusiast's car and enthusiasts are more likely to be picky about their cars, with things such as colors and options.
